That black book is getting smaller all the time. House Speaker Frank McNulty’s getting married in two weeks and former state Sen. Dan Gibbs tied the knot this afternoon in New York.

Gibbs, now a Summit County commissioner, married Jeanne Johanna Raquet at the Seagle Music Colony in Schroon Lake, N.Y.in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains. It’s where they had their first date eight years ago.

“An enchanted evening in an enchanted setting,” Gibbs said.

But the best part of his wedding notice was the following line: “The couple reside in Breckenridge with their beloved canine companion Tuff.”

The two got engaged last December while dressed as Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus at a Breckenridge holiday party. It’s a cute story.
